Heat five of RPYC‘s Farr 9.2 club series was held yesterday, with Seahawk (first), Itinerant (second) and Farr Far Away (third) finishing within nine seconds of each other over the 2 hour 20 minute race.
Helen, on start & finish duties, has taken a great set of photos of the fleet, capturing the glassy conditions at the start (and possibly James on the difficult side of the Committee boat) to the final sprint for the finish line.
Situated on the start boat for heat six of the metro series, Helen has taken another great set of photos of the Farr 9.2 fleet, including a little of the start-line shenanigans!
After the results from heat five of the metro series, the championship and consistency tables are looking very competitive, with only a few points separating the sharp end of the fleet.
Following on from that, heat six, held at RPYC yesterday, brings the leaderboard even closer. Results are as follows:

Braving the lackluster weather and ominous forecast, Helen has taken another great set of shots from heat three of the metro series.
Click on the photos for a full-resolution version.
Heat three of the metro series was hosted by the South of Perth Yacht Club. The day’s forecast included a chance of a thunderstorm, which fortunately only presented as a little light rain. Wind conditions were quite varied during the afternoon, including a surprise 90° wind shift just minutes before the start.

We have a few photos of heat two of the 2015/2016 metro series, again from Helen Baker.
Not content with merely sailing the course, the Farr Far Away crew have decided to increase the difficulty and take some great shots while racing. Rumours of a Farr Far Away chess championship during heat three are as-yet unconfirmed.
Results are in for heat two of the Farr 9.2 Association’s metro series.
This was a very close race, with only seven seconds between first and second on corrected time. The corrected time spans just over three minutes.

Well done for the yachts competing in heat two. We’ll have some photos up shortly.
The Helen Baker photography studio has contributed a set of great pictures from our first heat of this season’s metro series, including one of the Farr Far Away crew with their first red pennant from a Farr association race:
